We're about 99.9% to head down on Saturday if Cornell beats Harvard, of course.  We're probably about 20% to take Friday off and head down for the semis together - and if Daina doesn't take Friday off, I'm probably about 40% to head down Friday on my own.

I'm now about 90% to take Friday off and head down tomorrow on my own, with Daina to join me if we beat Harvard.

I can't speak to the child-ticketing policy, but I'm pretty sure there was no re-entry last year.  I remember trying to find somewhere to have a big lunch on Saturday so that we could subsist on rink snacks for the next 8 hours.  Oddly enough, there was very little quality food available in AC within walking distance to the rink at lunchtime, as most casino restaurants were only open for dinner.

I hope it is a better game result than the last Harvard game you attended. ;)

Well, at the very least we can be comforted in knowing that it can't possibly be the same result as the last Harvard game I attended.

Best choice is White House Sub Shop - Take Mississippi (next to Boardwalk hall) about 3 blocks away from the ocean to Arctic, and you are there.

A truly great sub.

I realize that. I brought friends from law school (one of whom is a Michigan alumnus) up for their first experience of Cornell hockey for the same game and a tie was less than satisfying.

Also, I specified game result as to differentiate from other consequential events that occurred that afternoon/evening for you.

Yeah, I'm going to sleep on it, but I may leave too. Hard to watch us against 'gate and the final will likely be as quiet as a church mouse.

Thought this said church moose for a second, which actually would have the potential to be incredibly exciting, if not dangerous. Your actual post, while making much more sense, is far less interesting.

You eat the arena's bits-o'-BBQ-chicken sandwich, the sound would be more moose than mouse. On the plus side, zero lines at the concessions stands or restrooms. Also,friendliness: Every security guard and ticket taker on the way out said, "Thanks, good night, have a great time, hope you're here tomorrow." Down in Estero for the Florida Classic, I think people mean that. In New Jersey, I'm thinking they're told, "Be polite and maybe they'll come back." Or else the economy really sucks in AC.

Actually I think many of them really mean it. I heard some of them commenting on how impressed they were that so many of the hockey crowd really supported their schools with sweaters, etc. When they looked through my bag and saw the papers and Snickers they asked about it and said  couldn't take the Snickers in. Then a higher up said let it go, the're having fun.

I think 1000 for the consolation game would be an overestimate.

Please, ECAC and AC: for the love of Lucifer, let it come back to Albany next year.
